Mental Health Experts have serious lack of ethics:

Oh boy..it is stupid to troll any AD member. :roll:
 
I think I understand now. Botti mistook me for someone else in another thread. She reported me to the moderators, they checked it out and told Botti that no, I am not this other person.

Yet, I still get blamed for being this other person even though it had been cleared up.

I responded to Jillio's posts because she was verbally attacking me. Also, since she thought I was a different person, it seems there is a lot of assumptions in what my real intentions are.


I REALLY think that there is a severe lack of ethics in mental health care.

So sorry if those who actually work in the field get offended, but that does NOT change my perception.
 
However -

All quibbles aside -

I do agree to some degree, based on what I have seen, there is some lacking of the ethics and duties of mental health professionals.

Especially when it comes to a deaf patient.

Pisses me off to no end, but.... It is what it is. It's "PRACTICING MEDICINE."

Primary care doctors are often the first line in mental health provision. They are often the first doctor that a patient with mental health problems visits. After the MD rules out physical reasons for the mental health issues, then the MD makes referrals for the patient to meet with mental health specialists.

Sometimes the mental health issue is resolved at the MD level and never moves on to the psychologist level. Sometimes the MD remains part of the mental health team involved in the patient's care.

Nahhh...just the same old same old. Lies, misrepresentation, and falsities. Can't even admit to their own errors when pointed out in black and white. Just keep digging a bigger hole by attempting to justify. Sad, isn't it, that one is so disturbed or maladjusted that they feel they need to resort to such underhanded behavior?

Is it possible to debate a topic without making personal attacks on the poster?
 
In every profession with a high standard of duty, there are people who breach that duty. You can't judge an entire profession based on the actions of a few people. The OP just has an ax to grind.

MD's indeed are the first to suspect an ailment of any sort. They usually refer them to someone that specialize in the field.

For instant, go to an MD for a broken arm. They will give you a temporary fix and refer you to an orthopedic.

Same with mental help. They prescribe a temporary fix and then refer you to someone that specialize in that field.

I don't think you should be determining that at first blush, this early.....but let me say your blow wasn't nearly as bad as Jillio's.

Just for clarification, medical professionals other than physicians, "MD's", or psychiatrists, can prescribe drugs. PA nurses and independent duty corpsmen can prescribe meds.

Isn't military healthcare different from civilian healthcare? I know that a lot of veterans and civilian doctors criticize the military for prescribing too much drugs. So, shouldn't military and civilian healthcare systems be treated differently in a debate in this case?

PA and ARNP can only prescribe certain medication under a MD or PH. D.

My PA nurse is a civilian.

I don't know who prescribes too much or too little. I'm only saying that it's a misconception that only doctors can write prescriptions.
